From Stafford to Bradford… “Please, please, please go Pro. Pretty please.”

Apparently, while I wasn’t looking, Sam Bradford became the hottest NFL QB prospect that could possibly come out of this year’s crop of college quarterbacks. What should Matt Stafford think about that? He should be hitting his knees praying that Bradford makes the same decision he did; to truncate his college career and make himself eligible for the NFL draft.

I gotta say I just always thought Bradford was a Jason White type “Great college QB” that ran up big numbers in school but didn’t amount to much in the NFL. Well, I watched the game the other night and chalk me up as a true believer. While Stafford could make some incredible throws, he always seemed to lack a touch that Bradford has in spades.

If Stafford couldn’t put it on a rope and had to display a little finesse, I thought he became just average. Maybe there are throws that Bradford can’t make that Stafford can, but from what I saw, I see why he’d be rated a hair above Staff.

Hopefully, he’ll declare and the Lions will see it the same way.

Dantzler has a nice post on the Stafford and Moreno NFL decision. I chuckled when I saw this line:

Unfortunately, he also goes down as one of the worst redshirt decisions in college football history. Georgia’s magnificent Mark Richt admittedly made a major mistake not playing the phenom as a true freshman, and the Bulldogs got only two years out of this unique talent.

Then I cried. Richt, what were you thinking? Imagine redshirting A.J. Green. Ridiculous right? The Moreno decision was it’s equal. Sigh.
